IP ratings refer to the level of protection offered by a casing, against dust and water. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represents a number The first value means protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquids (sweat).
Scoring IP55, the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's rating is read as, the first number of 5 denotes that ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety, and of liquids that they can withstand medium pressure jet that's 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5 to 3 metres. In comparison to the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus, Jabra Elite 85t have a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus has a higher liquid rating than Jabra Elite 85t

Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers, what this means is that Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's speakers deliver sound from separate channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience.
Both Jabra Elite 85t and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have stereo speakers
ANC utilises advanced technology to reduce unwanted ambient sounds. ANC works when, it listens to the sound pattern outside and inside the earbud and after generates a mirror signal to counter it. Simply put, it's like having +1 (noise) and adding -1 (counter sound by the device) giving 0 therefore "diluting" the noise.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have Active Noise Cancellation enabling you to listen at lower levels of volume, causing less ear fatigue since you don't need to crank up the device volume to overcome background noise. Jabra Elite 85t too have ANC which makes both earbuds ideal for flights and morning travels. Each operate with different noise cancellation modes, pick the setting that you prefer for commute or that enhances your relaxation time.
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus stay well in place, this creates a sound seal that tones down your environment noise and also prevents the earbuds sound from leaking out at the same. Both Jabra Elite 85t, and Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have passive noise reduction this means that they reduce ambient noise without using technology to cancel it out. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a unit size of 9mm in diameter, the bigger the unit the more powerful, therefor producing better bass.
The driver unit is the component that makes sound in the earbuds, the unit size corellates with the sound made by the earbuds. Jabra Elite 85t driver unit is 12mm in diameter,
making them have a larger driver unit than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 3mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers find it difficult to produce high frequencies so yes, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they deliver better quality sound.
The Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's lowest frequency is at 5Hz, low-frequency response measures if and how well an audio component produces low frequencies that can be heard, and if it alters the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 85t's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus make sound with a juicier bass than the Jabra Elite 85t
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, high-frequency response shows how well a particular audio component generates high human frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on its way through. Jabra Elite 85t's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices generate equal treble
The sound pressure level, is the level of pressure of sound, in decibels, dB, Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's measurement is 110dB/mW.
Devices with a higher sound pressure level are generally louder when supplied with any given audio source. Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery life is 7.5 hours, these last longer than 5 hours of listening which is considered average for a single charge. A device's battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and requires fewer chargings.
Jabra Elite 85t's battery life is
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 2 hours
. Each time you recharge your device, they get a little less listening time. The effect is not noticeable at first, but over a few years, your wireless earbuds will no longer play for long like they used to. This is given by the vendor, and the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's case has a full charge of 12.5 hours.
A charging case with more battery hours enables you to recharge your earbuds on the go many times before having to recharge the case itself. Jabra Elite 85t's charging case has a battery life of 20 hours,
more than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 7.5 hours
It requires 2.5 hours to fully charge the Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus's battery. It is highly adivsable to charge fully the battery before using the earbuds when they have been in storage for extended periods.
Jabra Elite 85t takes 1 hours to fully charge the battery,
less than that of Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus by 1.5 hours
Audio Technica ATH CKS30TW Plus have a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery. The battery indicator lights show the charging state of your device and case. Jabra Elite 85t too have a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your device, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low.
